Retro-inspired modern classics seem to be all the rage right now, but a few companies were well-ahead of the game. One such company was Kawasaki with their ZRX, a bike that Cycle World called a “a replica of a replica” as it was designed to make you think of the iconic 1982 Eddie Lawson Replica.
In 2010, Cycle World called the ZRX1100 a “Best Used Bike”, praising the bike for its styling and overall competence: “Kawasaki has built the best standard bike since standard bikes were standard.” The 1,052cc inline-four engine put down 96 horsepower and 70 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheel, good for a claimed top speed of 143 miles per hour.
This example is VIN: ZRT10C006348. It came to Iconic as an import from Japan; prior history is not known.
The odometer shows 65,940 kilometers (40,973 miles).
Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, the seller had us change the oil and oil filter, clean and sync the carbs, service the chain, clean and lube the gas cap, and give the bike a detail.
